Administration
7.2 Million Invested!
Component 2 of the Regions and Rurality Fund has resulted in an investment of $7,259,410 in the economic development of the MRC du Golfe-du-Saint-Laurent since April 1st, 2020. In order to respect our sectoral and salary commitments, financial assistance granted through this fund will be temporarily suspended. The new terms and conditions of the program will be communicated at a later date. The other components of the RRF remain accessible.
Community Outreach
Our team will be visiting communities at the end of October. Public meetings will be held in Tête-à-la-Baleine (October 29 in the morning), in La Tabatière (October 29 in the afternoon) and in Saint-Augustin (October 30 in the afternoon). Details of these meetings will be announced in the coming days.
